Studio visit: Front design studio
Digitalt
Moderator: Hanna Nova Beatrice
Panelists: Anna Lindgren, Sofia Lagerkvist
The Swedish design studio FRONT open up their studio as part of the digital Stockholm Design & Architecture talks in February, talking us through their major research project Designed in Nature which will result in a number of launches during 2022. Their extensive research has, amongst other things, focused on the physical and mental health effects of spending time in nature, as well as the cultural and psychological significance of natural settings. They have explored shapes and textures found in the Swedish forests, conducted numerous interviews and discussions on the topics and looked into how we are affected by images of nature in a more instinctive way.

Co-founder
Front
Sofia Lagerkvist and Anna Lindgren are the members of the Swedish design studio Front. Their works are based on common discussions, explorations and experiments and they collaborate in all projects from initial ideas to the final product. Front’s design objects often communicate a story to the observer about the design process, about the material it is made of or about conventions within the design field. In their work they have assigned part of the making of design to animals, computers or machines. They have made a constantly changing interior, created objects with explosions, robotic furniture and a range of furniture inspired by their fascination with magic.
